Story
At about 8 years old, Tod is a distinguished Corgi–Chihuahua mix with the shortest little legs and a surprisingly big personality tucked into his sturdy, compact frame. He’s equal parts gentleman and character - a thoughtful, independent little guy who knows exactly who he is and would very much like to be appreciated for it.Tod came back to rescue with some history, but in his foster home he has been nothing short of wonderful. Over the past several months, he’s proven himself to be attentive, responsive, and delightfully easy to live with. He’s housebroken, quiet, good in the car, listens well, and settles beautifully in his crate. He truly thrives when life is calm, consistent, and predictable. He’s the kind of dog who quietly fits into your routine and somehow makes it better.Like many dogs who’ve had their routines disrupted, he can be a bit reserved when meeting new people - he prefers polite introductions and a little time to decide you’re worthy - but once you’re in, you’re in. Tod becomes deeply loyal and wonderfully devoted. He’s very much a “my person” kind of dog who will happily coexist nearby, keeping you company with his steady, reassuring presence.Tod is reportedly cat-friendly (though his foster doesn’t have cats to confirm), and he would do best in a home without young children. He could potentially live with another calm, independent dog in an experienced home, but truthfully? He shines brightest as the only dog, soaking up the peace and the quiet attention.He would love a home with a yard to explore on his adorable little legs, a couple of dependable meals a day, and people who appreciate a dog with charm, independence, and a whole lot of heart. He’s not needy or chaotic - he’s cool, composed, and quietly charismatic.Tod isn’t looking to be everyone’s dog. He’s looking to be someone’s dog. And for the right person, he’s going to be absolutely irresistible.If you’d like to take Tod home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application.
